'WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?'
Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and language.
What it's about: A documentary about America's favorite neighbor, Fred Rogers, and his long-running PBS show.
The kid attractor factor: Adults who grew up on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" may want to introduce their children to the man.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Everyone has value and every person is deserving of love, no matter what. Love everyone, and let them know.
Violence: Discussion and images of news stories and national tragedies Rogers addressed, including the RFK assassination, the Challenger explosion and 9/11.
Language: Some instances of swearing.
Sexuality: None.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: While this film is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, Rogers never shied away from discussing the darker aspects of life with children. His warm, empathetic message of love for all deserves to be spread and taught far and wide, and the film is a beautiful starting place for kids of all ages.
